[Hallb] PAC35

[burkert]

Dear Colleagues,

Attached, please find the results of the PAC35. Hall B had only one 
proposal submitted PR-12-010, which was deferred. Main reason, the PAC 
was not convinced that the additional beam time for the 8.8GeV and 6.6 
GeV running was well enough motivated.  We need to come back with that 
at another PAC when the physics motivation is more transparent. In 
general, the PAC liked the SIDIS program very much as an essential part 
of the 12 GeV program, To the proponents of PR-12-010, don't be discouraged!

All 5 LOI's were approved/supported in the sense that they should be 
turned into proposals. The PAC strongly recommends to include LOI-004 
into LOI-001 (the spectroscopy program). It seems to me the PAC would 
like to see a broad spectroscopy program. However, they like to see more 
evidence that partial-wave analysis for complicated final states of wide 
resonances can be done in CLAS12. 
The also like to see a common proposal for LOI-008 and LOI-009. 

The PAC rated two Hall B proposals, one at A- and one at B+. In general 
the PAC reduced the requested beam time for most of the approved 
experiments that received a scientific rating.

The next regular PAC will be in the week of January 10, 2011.

There is likely going to be an intermediate PAC this summer dedicated to 
scientific rating of one or more physics categories.

Best regards,
Volker Burkert
